Ontario Taking Action to Enable Storage of CO2 Underground
Carbon storage projects would help industries reduce emissions and create new jobs
December 13, 2023
SARNIA – The Ontario government is taking steps to encourage innovation and reduce emissions by enabling industries to begin testing and demonstrating small-scale underground carbon storage projects on private land.
Carbon storage involves capturing carbon dioxide from large emission sources like power generation or industrial facilities and directly from the atmosphere. It can be compressed and transported to be injected into underground rock formations.
“There is growing interest and acceptance of the role that carbon capture and storage will play in achieving net-zero emissions in a global economy,” said Graydon Smith, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing to advance carbon storage in Ontario and ensure we are a leader when it comes to emissions reductions efforts.”
